Project R.I.S.E. (Realizing Individual Strength Through Education)is a collaborative effort by Akron Public Schools, local shelters, and the community to provide supplemental educational services to children and youth who are experiencing homelessness.
Homelessness is stressful, especially for children, and can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, depression, and anxiety. Regardless of their living conditions, all children have the right to receive high-quality educational and social services in a safe and caring environment.
Project R.I.S.E. is designed to empower students and their families by providing opportunities to improve the quality of their lives through educational, cultural, and community resources. Education is known to be the key in breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
